SLATE, the newest Concentrics Restaurants concept, now offers lunch at the modern American eateryMonday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. To further expand its offerings, SLATE will launch its highly anticipated weekend brunch on Saturday, July 25 and will be available every Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Since opening in June, Executive Chef Dominic Rice’s creative methods of showcasing fresh, local ingredients has made SLATE one of the most sought dinner options on Orlando’s famed Restaurant Row. His signature culinary philosophy is also reflected on SLATE’s lunch and brunch menus. Lunch features a seasonally driven selection of soups, salads, fresh seafood, sandwiches and wood-fired grilled pizzas. Menu staples include a Fried Green Tomato Torta with Pimento Cheese, Romaine and Bacon and a Hanger Steak Salad with Cotija Cheese, Radish, Watercress, Walnut and Cilantro Vinaigrette. The current lunch menu can be viewed here.
With SLATE’s brunch menu, Chef Rice offers his take on classic sweet and savory dishes including Lemon Cornmeal Pancakes, Gulf Shrimp and Grits and a Pork Spoonbread with Peach Barbecue, Slow-Smoked Pulled Pork, and Sunny Eggs. SLATE’s brunch also features an extensive craft cocktail menu developed by bar manager Paul Johnsen as well as a full-service bar, craft beer and wine by the glass and bottle.
